Disappointment will come two fold.
1. We know Mike is safe for now subsequently that means the team is guaranteed to come short on expectations. I didn’t stutter step. Even in the SB you could not be faulted thinking the refs hungry hippo helped the Chiefs all season so they were surely going to three-peat right? So there might have been some wavering on who to bet for. They tried to sway early but dominance is hard to overcome hard to tilt in a team they favor.
Not here not with the Steelers. Mark it in permanent marker regardless of what the team does in free agency and the draft they will still trot out narrow minded thinking, broken schemes, and the inability to X and O in crunch time. In fact if there was a way to bet every penny of your life savings and to place it on the Steelers not winning the SB this year? I would say go collect your free money. But not even Vegas is that misguided to even let that bet take place. So here is your 1st phase of disappointment realization that it won’t get as good as it once was. Not at all not even a little bit.
2. The second phase of realization will come when the Steelers start out not having to be highly mathematically competent that might give you some false hopes and dreams if dominos fall on Ws. Oh they are winning yay. If you allow that to sway you that is. But the second phase will actually be when your expectations meet reality.
Regardless of what those expectations are. Reality will be toward the second half of the season when teams that can competently X and O, start throwing the ability at the Steelers and Mike, “ I wear my sunglasses regardless of how cloudy it is out,so you can’t so you can’t t t t see what confusion really looks like despite throwing those $5 cliches your way.”
Losses will start to pile up, after the meltdowns it will be said how the players just need to perform better in route to another season playoff winless. If they are “lucky” to even get that far.
Disappointment is a cake and you will eat it two.
